Hexagon Composites ASA: Results for the third quarter 2020

In the third quarter of 2020, Hexagon Group generated NOK 770 (770) million in revenues and recorded an operating profit before depreciation (EBITDA) of NOK 65 (49) million. Hexagon Ragasco results remained robust and Agility experienced a record strong quarter as it recovered from the sharp impacts of the global pandemic in the previous quarter. Hexagon Mobile Pipeline, however, remained impacted by the pandemic and resulting macro factors, as well as lower North American onshore oil and gas activity.

Hexagon Composites (Buy, TP: NOK38.00) - Cautious on near-term outlook

We are significantly below consensus on Q1e EBITDA, owing to the challenging US truck market, with the uncertainty in demand, costs, and regulations resulting in lower demand for new trucks and technology shifts taking longer. With most of its business in the US, we consider Hexagon Composites vulnerable. As a result, we have lowered our 2025–2026e EBITDA by 9–15%. We reiterate our BUY, but have cut our target price to NOK38 (50) on the weaker near-term outlook.
